1st Quarter Fundraising

While most candidates were not inclined to divulge their figures, Bill Dix had no problem sharing that he was able to add another 120K to his growing warchest. Bruce Braley, the field's top fundraiser to date pulled in another 100K.

When the full disclosures come out mid-month, expect a full break-down here at Iowa's First.

It seems to be mostly the GOP bashing on their own guys. On occaision a thread will start with some Dem back and forth (see post below), but not as much as I'd like. If you're a liberal, help me boost my left-wing readership and pass the word on!

So by grassroots support are you referring to like the most acerage in his front yard or what. Because to have the most grassroots support, you need to have grassroots supporters. Revolutionary I know.

I'm just saying if its so "undisputed" that Kennedy has the best grassroots, I'd like to know where the beef is to back this statement up? Where are these supporters? What have they been doing? Why haven't I met any of them?

Anon 4:04...You are probably the same kind of Republican as Mike Whalen...in voter registration only. If you were a Republican activist, one who has been supporting the Party and the conservative cause for years, who attended GOP meetings, caucuses, and conventions, you would find plenty more Kennedy supporters than Whalen supporters. If you haven't seen any, it's because you're a Mike Whalen Republican.

Anon 4:52, is that the best you can do? Tell people that Kennedy has young supporters too? Good slam. Maybe they like him because he treats them like human beings, not like dirt to be walked on like Mike Whalen does. Your thoughts?
